Team Jim Cooke Beat Leukemia!!
Tax deductible
We have always said this about Jim: he works hard, he plays hard. But we also know this: he fights hard. It is his character. This man, our brother, husband, son, father, and friend, has incredible strength that we have all seen time and time again. It is this strength that has carried him victoriously across football fields, soared him as a Navy pilot, and brought him down to earth as a loving and stable rock of a husband and father, and most recently put him as a trusted leader of Utility Service Agency. So while we are utterly shocked and saddened to find out that the fatigue he had been experiencing is Leukemia (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia), we feel confident that Jim has what it takes to overcome and defeat cancer.
Jim has undergone intensive introductory chemotherapy at Duke in Durham, NC and has recently returned home after 6 weeks in hospitals. And… he’s doing incredibly well! We await marching orders from his Oncology team regarding his next phase of treatment, which normally involves outpatient chemotherapy.
On December 4th, a small group of some of Jim Cooke’s biggest fans will be racing a 40 mile relay, the “Shakori 40 Ultra”. We will be running through the woods, mud, over hills, roots and rocks in Jim’s honor, raising awareness for Leukemia as well as raising money to benefit the Leukemia Research Foundation. Please consider sponsoring our Relay by donating to this organization on behalf of Jim and all who suffer from blood cancers. Go Team Jim Cooke Beat Leukemia!
